    ^ Hard to post a picture after that.

    I REALLY need to get better rear flex and longer front shocks. Chevy 63"s soon.

    Getting there. The 63's should make a big difference out back, mine move great!
    I wish I had a ramp like that..

    Yeah its getting there. May need a little more spring changing around in the front, but we measured and my 12" shock was maxed out right there and if you look closely at my shackle it still has a tad more and I know the spring does as well. I think I'm running like 4-5" up and 7" down. I think I'm gonna add another RUF leaf to the front with a front drop hanger forward a tad and get some 14" shocks. Then I'll run like 9" down and 5" up.

    The rear needs some 63's. Gonna keep the 12" shocks back there because I can mess with the mounts and stuff and not run outta shock.

    All that will give me plenty of room for 35's and if I go to 37's later it'll be with minimal trimming....hopefully.

    Sounds like a plan. I need to get some straight shackles for the front, my banana's are hitting the frame. I'm going to re-locate my 12's in the rear for about 3" more downtravel and pick up some hoops and 14's for the front. For my 37's I didn't trim any in the rear and the for the front I reworked the wheel opening on a 2wd fender. Still need to do a little mini sledge work on the firewall

    My front D-shaft in binding up. Think the front drop hanger will help?

    They do their job. Drives just fine on the street.

    Maybe a little. I have a custom made high angle driveshaft up front. May want to think about going that route too

    It was on the truck when I bought it. He got it made at Universal Automotive which is around Concord I think.
